In class I mentioned that we used to show an actual ballistic pendulum where a rifle is shot into a heavy block to see how the b

lock moves. Assume a 4.7 gram bullet is fired at 678 m/s into a 4.8 kg block of wood. The block hangs from a long string to approximate 1D motion. How fast does the block move just after the collision in m/s?

Answer:

0.66 m/s

Explanation:

This is an inelastic collision, for that reason the conservation of momentum law allows us to determine the final velocity of both, the bullet and block together after the collision:

m_{bullet} v_{bullet0} +m_{block} v_{block} =(m_{bullet}+m_{block})v_{f} \\v_{f} =\frac{m_{bullet} v_{bullet0} }{m_{bullet}+m_{block}} \\v_{f} =\frac{0.0047kg*678m/s}{4.8kg+0.0047kg}\\v_{f} =0.66 m/s

A bottle lying on the windowsill falls off and takes 4.95 seconds to reach the ground. The distance from the windowsill to the g
mr Goodwill [35]

The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is

                         D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²)

            Distance  =  (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)

We want to see how the time will be affected
if  ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does.
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '.

                                                      D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²)

Multiply each side by  2 :         2 D  =            g    t² 

Divide each side by ' g ' :      2 D/g =                  t²

Square root each side:        t = √ (2D/g)


Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens
to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes: 

-- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'
                                             and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .

-- They don't change by the same factor, because  1/g  is inside
the square root.  So 't' changes the same amount as  √1/g  does.

Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly  1/6  the value
of gravity on the surface of the Earth.

So we expect ' t ' to increase by  √6  =  2.45 times.

It would take the same bottle  (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds
to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the
surface of the Moon.

Describe and compare the rings of Saturn and Uranus, including their possible origins.
Marta_Voda [28]

Explanation:

Okay, well, Saturn's rings form a wide and complex system, consisting mostly of particles and pieces of ice, and are highly visible. They may have formed from one or more moons that broke up due to a collision, or are left over from early debris that never coalesced into a moon... And, The rings of Uranus are thin and hard to see, consisting mostly of chunks of carbon and hydrocarbons with very little reflectivity. They may also have formed from the breakup of a small moon due to a collision. They may be kept thin by the presence of shepherd moons.

Hope I helped !

An ideal refrigerator does 130. 0 j of work to remove 780. 0 j of heat from its cold compartment during each cycle. what is the
zheka24 [161]

The refrigerator's coefficient of performance is 6.

The heat extracted from the cold reservoir Q cold (i.e., inside a refrigerator) divided by the work W required to remove the heat is known as the coefficient of performance, or COP, of a refrigerator (i.e., the work done by the compressor). The required inside temperature and the outside temperature have a significant impact on the COP.

As the inside temperature of the refrigerator decreases, its coefficient of performance decreases. The coefficient of performance (COP) of refrigeration is always more than 1.

The heat produced in the cold compartment, H = 780.0 J

Work done in ideal refrigerator, W = 130.0 J

Refrigerator's coefficient of performance = H/W

                                                                     = 780/130

                                                                     = 6

Therefore, the refrigerator's coefficient of performance is 6.

Energy conservation requires the exhaust heat to be = 780 + 130

                                                                                          = 910 J

It takes 20 N of force to move a box a distance of 10 m. How much work is done on the box?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Ans is 200 J

Explanation:

Given:  Force = 20N

            Distance = 10m

Work done  = Force * displacement

                    =  20 * 10

                    =  200 J
